Well equipped unit. Demolition works next door starting at 0700 made it difficult to appreciate the quiet, lovely gardens and outdoor area. Hopefully it won’t deter guests. We would still happily stay again.

Thank you Robyn and yes it was noisy - fortunately not for very long! It was amazing how quickly it came down. Good news is the peace and quiet has returned to Bungunyah. I am very pleased to hear that you would happily return and am looking forward to hearing from you to organise that. In the meantime take care.Many thanks Henriette

A very clean apartment that was very comfortable and cosy. Close to shops and the Yarra Valley is not far. A pity that the weekend weather was not so great with non-stop rain and flash flooding. Would be happy to book this place again for a chance to see more of the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges.
Response from Henriette on Nov 10, 2022
Thank you so much for your kind words - especially given the unseasonal weather while you were here! We are ideally located for both the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges so look forward to you coming back and staying with us again to spend more time. In addition we have had a team meeting since your departure and have arranged that next time you come and stay the weather will be perfect for you :) Many thanks Henriette

The place was large and great for our family. Some beds had electric blankets some didn't. For a winter stay, the slate floor wasn’t so appealing but there was aircon and a heater. The stove top took a bit of getting used to but the oven is a disaster. Better signage out front would help, as it’s on a busy road and looking out for the address was difficult. Overall the place was comfortable.

Dear Steve. Many thanks for your comprehensive review. Based on your high rating, we can see that you enjoyed your stay but had a few minor issues. We inspected the oven, and found a small issue which was took less than 30min to correct - We understand that this should have been picked up before your visit, so we have implemented additional checks going forward. When you stay with us again, please don't hesitate to contact us so that we can attend to any issue promptly. We are installing new signage in the coming days which is far more visible. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

We loved our stay in The Maasai Villa over the Easter Holidays. We received very friendly and efficient customer service. Our Villa was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. I would highly recommend booking a villa through Bungunyah Apartments.

The Margreit Villa is very clean, comfortable and well appointed. The Villa however, is very noisy week mornings due to the high traffic load and being so close to Dorset Road. This meant being woken at 4.30 week mornings. The villa bedroom window needs sound proofing. The street lighting of the Apartments needs to be fixed so you can see it when driving in, since it is such a busy road.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review 'The Margriet' Villa. We are very pleased that you found your villa well equipped, very clean and comfortable. It is unfortunate that you found the traffic noisy at 4.30am. The villa's windows are double glazed and usually Dorset Rd does not start to get busy until peak time around 7am. The unit is actually a favourite with some of our repeat guests so maybe there was some overnight road work going on whilst you were staying? As to the street lighting we will definitely have that check out and maintained. Thank you once again for your feedback.

We were in Melbourne for a wedding and a 40th birthday celebration and Bungunyah apartments were handily located for both events. The apartments are an oasis of quiet in a busy outer suburban environment and very close to the beautiful Yarra Valley. We enjoyed our stay very much

This is a perfect property to stay for every occasions with friends and family. It is located in a quiet suburb North East of Melbourne. The most important of all is we feel safe at the property. This is a clean and tidy place. Surely, I will book this place again on my next visit to Melbourne.

Comfortable Stay
Everything was fine. Just one minor thing, there was an electric pad in Queen bed but no in two single beds.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately due to health regulations we are not able to put electric blankets on single beds as it is assumed in our industry that those beds will sometimes be occupied by any younger guests (children) that may be staying.

Chosen because of proximity to Bramleigh wedding venue. Great for our large family group to stay together, have backyards with BBQs and plenty of room to socialise. Beautiful gardens and very pleasant staff.

Will not do better than this.
Anyone needing to base themselves in the outer eastern suburbs of melbourne will not do better than this in terms of value for money, spaciousness, cleanliness, comfort and much more. Everything individuals or family groups could ever need in a holiday villa far superior to typical hotel room accommodation. Highly recommended.
